Unique Food and Drink?
Park Rooftop

It's one of those places you don't want to give up to others because of the stellar views of the city, but go during sunset! It's the most beautiful time to go.

My friend and I came here with the intention to watch the sunset and have some sangria, and our expectations were blown out of the park! Amazing views especially if you get there early and grab chairs on the water.

Casual & Portuguese Food?
Tapa Bucho

There can be a bit of a wait for a table, but it is totally worth it! The sangria is well done along with the Padron peppers, patatas bravas, and charcuterie board. The ambience is nice here.

Zé da Mouraria
@lifeofthetravelingpin
There are two locations, one is downtown, where they do really big portions. So if you go, you should only order for one - try to go with a group! They also do a tasting menu, but with normal portion sizes.

Tapisco Lisboa
@lifeofthetravelingpin
Excellent tapas with superior service. Reservations are highly recommended. We showed up without reservations and they let us enjoy drinks and appetizers on a tiny table next to the door until our table was ready. Once inside it was comfortable and the courses were truly delicious.

I had the fillet steak sandwich and my friend had the fillet steak with 2 sides. Both were absolutely delicious, as was the bottle of wine we had with it. All the staff we really friendly and welcoming and the interior of the restaurant itself was beautiful. Would definitely recommend! Make sure to make a reservation.
